Heaven is sighing

A single tear dropping

Deluge in hell

 

A photojournalist ("street photographer", or documentary photographer) works by catching something that is taken for granted and is always there but is ignored. He then amplifies it by either centering on it, or cutting everything else out but the point he's trying to bring to your attention.

 

This might be a static scene that is always there but is being ignored when taking in a big set of things together. Or, it might be something that only exists for a fleeting moment in rapid motion. Same thing. The photojournalist in high speed motion picks out a singular frame from the "tape", the "movie of motion", by using very rapid reflexes behind the lens and a very fast aperture setting to freeze the frame he wants you to see.

 

In effect, a photojournalist lives outside the dimension of time, like a time-traveler can go back and forth in time like a detective for the unusual, the meaningful that is otherwise lost to most people...

 

Photojournalists are also ... "snoops", don't hesitate to invade spaces as they're oblivious to any norms of boundaries if they face something important that has simply got to be "told to others".
